My Rating: (2/10) ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Well, I know one thing I wasn't taken with: this movie. Ba dum bum.
Now honestly, I do not know what I was expecting. Good writing? Probably not. Decent writing that could pass for dialogue? Again probably not. Was I expecting laughable acting from a man I still respect, even though I recognize he has somehow become a caricature of himself. Yes, yes I was. So in that regard I guess I got what I was expecting.
Chest voice on. Double squint engaged. Let the drama begin.
For a man who gets things taken from him so regularly, he sure has a tendency to leave himself vulnerable. But how else could this predictable set of circumstances unfold, complete with an ending you'd need to be asleep not to see coming. I suppose if I could survive gas explosions, car crashes, 100 foot drops et al, I wouldn't be too concerned either.
